Belugawrx Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 Thx guysDavid I'm going to try to cram a NASCAR engine in from Bill Elliott's Dodge Intrepid..Along with assorted oil and trans intercoolers...lol
JTalmage Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I want to join so bad, but I fear I won't complete a build again. Nor do I know what I would even build.
bill_67 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I would like to join this years build off again, I've always had fun in the last three years although I did not complete last year. These are the builds I have completed. 2014--1968 corvette c6 running gear and suspension. 2015--1972 blazer Ferrari 599 gto running gear. This year I would like to enter a Jo-Han 72 javelin amx . I'm sure I'll update the engine and suspension but as for the rest of it I figure it out as I go

Lunajammer Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 (edited) Corvette chrome has been stripped, thanks EZ-Off. A bunch of parts painted. Edited November 9, 2017 by Lunajammer
64SS350 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 OK, decided to jump in here. Haven't been able to the last couple of years. I am working on a couple others, then onto the Cannonball! Here's my entries from years past.
64SS350 Posted January 17, 2017 Posted January 17, 2017 I am going to borrow 'Bumblebee' as he appeared in T4, he will transform later into his more modern form to throw off those pesky Highway Patrol. Since he runs off alien power, we won't have to stop for gas.

For wheels and tires, cause the kit ones look awful, check out Joesph's stuff at http://www.fireballmodelworks.com/ his 1/24 Minilites and tires would look awesome on that Javelin.
Canso65 Posted January 19, 2017 Posted January 19, 2017 Looking forward to seeing your Javelin Bill.There are some nice projects underway here guys.
Jhedir6 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Looking good Bruce. That motor looks right at home in there. You're gonna be finished your 'Cuda before I even see my Audi.
bill_67 Posted January 21, 2017 Posted January 21, 2017 Nice detail on the engine Bruce, and your mechanic look better then last years.
oldcarfan Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 Thanks for getting that song stuck in my head, Rob. Starting to compile parts for the ChallengerFor your Challenger, where did you find the Cibie lights and covers? I need some of those for something else!
oldcarfan Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I want to join even though I'm still working on last years build. I've finished with classes and work has stabilized finally. Have to come up with something. Too bad nobody makes a Subaru GL.
Erik Smith Posted January 22, 2017 Posted January 22, 2017 I got the Cibie lights from a fellow forum member - Fumi (Sylvester). I don't know where he got them.
Jordan White Posted January 23, 2017 Posted January 23, 2017 A bit of work done to mine so far, the engine is out of the Revell '99 Silverado and is mostly built. I had to cut out a bit of the inner fenderwells to fit the exhaust. I also got the chassis mostly together. Front suspension is stock, rear consists of stock shocks with leaf springs from Revell '99 Silverado, and axle from an Aoshima kit meant to resemble a Ford 9".
Belugawrx Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 Jordan, nice engine choice bud Bill, I'm liking that AMX dude,... I got my Cuda into some colour I just looked back at my other CannonBuilds and noticed,..all of the interiors are red,...Hmm go figur
matthijsgrit Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 WOW!!!! What are we looking at, exactly? Seems to be a second Gen Camaro, with a twist... Tilt front end? Front windshield laid back? I like it!! Ever finished this? MG
Lunajammer Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 (edited) WOW!!!! What are we looking at, exactly? Good eye Matthijs. It's Revell's Jungle Jim 70 Camaro funny car dragster shortened to fit a Corvette ZR-1 chassis. I took advantage of the cut body to make it a flip front. Most parts, including the interior bucket drop in rather well. I added more character to the otherwise flat front end. The loose body came from my parts box. It was a glue bomb and the plastic is glue-warped on the rear deck. Not sure how I want to remedy that. Sadly, the photo was taken just a week ago, so this is as far as I got. Still hope to finish it. Jungle Jim Dragster photo credited to canneysgarage. Edited January 25, 2017 by Lunajammer

I felt it had something modernish and I liked it! Is this a pro touring inspired build? This can turn out the be a build of something that would be a high end build in 1:1... Looking forward to seeing the finished product! MG
Tim H Posted January 25, 2017 Posted January 25, 2017 It almost looks like it has a fourth generation F-body A pillar. Tim
Dominik Posted February 3, 2017 Posted February 3, 2017 Nice stuff going on here - should be a "hard" battle ...race! to get back to the Hobby, Rob please Count me in.
